Darchinyan’s belts tempting Donaire !!!
Notwithstanding the three straight victories against three world champions that revitalized the career of Vic Darchinyan, conqueror Nonito Donaire Jr. believes he is still the man capable of again snatching the Australian’s three belts if given the chance of a return encounter. Interviewed by the daily morning Philippine radio show “Sports Chat” hosted by this writer Wednesday morning, Donaire said Darchinyan has become a bit slower and cautious in scoring an emphatic 11th round TKO win over Mexican superstar Jorge Arce last weekend at The Pond in Anaheim, California.
Before Arce, Darchinyan unified all three prestigious belts in the super flyweight division with spectacular wins over Russian Dimitri Kirilov and another Mexican superstar Cristian Mijares last year.
Donaire is responsible for Darchinyan’s only blemish of his fearsome fight record, a 5th round stoppage in their world flyweight encounter July of 2007 in Connecticut.
In the same interview Donaire reiterated his respect and appreciation of what former promoter Gary Shaw has done to his career that led to the Filipino-American’s reign as fyweight kingpin.
Donaire is currently up north in Baguio City preparing for former amateur foe Raul Martinez.
Donaire will stake his IBF belt against Martinez in a 12-round bout on March 22 at the famed Araneta Coliseum, site of the celebrated “Thrilla in Manila”.

I hope Donaire did what he did in the first fight again. I am not sure who Darchinyan's changed tactically, and whether Donaire lands a huge punch or not he was staying from Darchinyan's power, and simply outboxing him with speed.

Vic has been on an absolute tear lately and I really hope to see this rematch before Vic goes through with his planned move up in weight.

Same here and I dont think Vic will make the same mistake again.
He looked a much better fighter vs Arce and he's probably still improving but not sure if he's big enough for guys like juanma, Marquez and Vasquez. Love to see it though. He could have a classic with any of those guys .
Re: Darchinyan’s belts tempting Donaire !!!
I believe Nonito Donaire has the speed, power, technique, size and range to defeat Darchinyan again... Darchinyan might not be knockout cold in the rematch but just the same I see a convincing Donaire victory...

Re: Darchinyan’s belts tempting Donaire !!!
I hope this fight happens again; and I hope the same result happens as well, and I think it will. I quite enjoyed watching Vic crawling on his face the last time they met;D
